Birth details

Original due date: July 12, 2008
Type of delivery: Vaginal (with pain relief)
Duration of labor: 26 hrs
Weight @ birth: 7 lbs 13 ounces
Length @ birth: 20 inches

We checked in the hospital at 6.30 pm on Friday night, July 11 for a scheduled induction. I was still 1.5 cm dilated and 75% effaced at the time we checked in. After we settled in and around 8 pm they applied the gel to my cervix, and again another round around 12 pm. It was about 5.30 am on Saturday morning when they started me on pitocin. I dilated to 2 cm by 10.30 am...and that's when they broke my water. I was feeling the contractions mainly in my lower back. I wanted to wait for the epidural and when I was 4 cm dilated, the pain got stronger and I asked for epidural. ...after the epidural I felt no pain, it was great and the delivery was painless too....delivery part took about 1 hr 20 minutes..Now recovery isn't so bad either. I had episiotomy and now taking naproxin approx every 6 hrs and it seems to be doing the trick. I still can't belive though, I gave birth to my son :) He is so precious and well worth everything...
